Fr Martin and the Parish Council have announced that due to the current COVID-19 Pandemic the 2020 Mother's Day Fish Fry and Raffle scheduled for May 10 has been canceled. All money turned in for the purchase of raffle tickets will be refunded. The Fish Fry will not be held this year. We look forward to resuming this great Mother's Day Tradition next year, May 9, 2021. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the office.

Dear Parishioners, Because our spiritual and physical lives are being effected in a large way by the conditions imposed by the spread of the Covid19 virus, Father Martin has decided to unlock the church upon request during the afternoon to accommodate any parishioner who would like to come and pray in the presence of Jesus in the Tabernacle. Only the front door will be open so any coming and going can be recorded on our video system for security reasons. The church will be available to be opened from approximately 12:30PM to 4:30PM on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons only. You must call Estella ahead of time at the office so she can unlock the church before your arrival. The # is 830-864-4026. By having Estella unlock the church upon request she can insure the “no more than 10 person rule “ is being observed. Once the Archdiocese allows the parishes to return to normal operations we will return to weekday Masses. God Bless Estella
